The lock-file configuration (both from configuration file and -X
argument to named) has better alternatives nowadays. Modern process
supervisor should be used to ensure that a single named process is
running on a given configuration.
Alternatively, it's possible to wrap the named with flock(1).
All changes in this commit were automated using the command:
shfmt -w -i 2 -ci -bn . $(find . -name "*.sh.in")
By default, only *.sh and files without extension are checked, so
*.sh.in files have to be added additionally. (See mvdan/sh#944)
The old name "common" clashes with the convention of system test
directory naming. It appears as a system test directory, but it only
contains helper files.
To reduce confusion and to allow automatic detection of issues with
possibly missing test files, rename the helper directory to "_common".
The leading underscore indicates the directory is different and the its
name can no longer be confused with regular system test directories.
The changes were mostly done with sed:
find . -name '*.sh' | xargs sed -i 's/`\([^`]*\)`/$(\1)/g'
There have been a few manual changes where the regex wasn't sufficient
(e.g. backslashes inside the `...`) or wrong (`...` referring to docs or
in comments).
Change the way arithmetic operations are performed in system test shell
scripts from using `expr` to `$(())`. This ensures that updating the
variable won't end up with a non-zero exit code, which would case the
script to exit prematurely when `set -e` is in effect.
The following replacements were performed using sed in all text files
(git grep -Il '' | xargs sed -i):
s/status=`expr $status + $ret`/status=$((status + ret))/g
s/n=`expr $n + 1`/n=$((n + 1))/g
s/t=`expr $t + 1`/t=$((t + 1))/g
s/status=`expr $status + 1`/status=$((status + 1))/g
s/try=`expr $try + 1`/try=$((try + 1))/g
Ensure all shell system tests are executed with the errexit option set.
This prevents unchecked return codes from commands in the test from
interfering with the tests, since any failures need to be handled
explicitly.
In order to run the shell system tests, the pytest runner has to pick
them up somehow. Adding an extra python file with a single function
for the shell tests for each system test proved to be the most
compatible way of running the shell tests across older pytest/xdist
versions.
Modify the legacy run.sh script to ignore these pytest-runner specific
glue files when executing tests written in pytest.
This commit converts the license handling to adhere to the REUSE
specification. It specifically:
1. Adds used licnses to LICENSES/ directory
2. Add "isc" template for adding the copyright boilerplate
3. Changes all source files to include copyright and SPDX license
header, this includes all the C sources, documentation, zone files,
configuration files. There are notes in the doc/dev/copyrights file
on how to add correct headers to the new files.
4. Handle the rest that can't be modified via .reuse/dep5 file. The
binary (or otherwise unmodifiable) files could have license places
next to them in <foo>.license file, but this would lead to cluttered
repository and most of the files handled in the .reuse/dep5 file are
system test files.
In order to lower the amount of memory allocated at startup by named
instances used in the BIND system test suite, set the default value of
"max-cache-size" for these to 2 megabytes. The purpose of this change
is to prevent named instances (or even entire virtual machines) from
getting killed by the operating system on the test host due to excessive
memory use.
Remove all "max-cache-size" statements from named configuration files
used in system tests ("checkconf" notwithstanding) to prevent confusion
as the "-T maxcachesize=..." command line option takes precedence over
configuration files.
The named configuration files used in the "geoip2" system test cause a
rather large number of views (6-8) to be set up in each tested named
instance. Each view has its own cache.
Commit e24bc324b4 caused the RBT hash
table to be pre-allocated to a size derived from "max-cache-size", so
that it never needs to be rehashed. The size of that hash table is not
expected to be significant enough to cause memory use issues in typical
conditions even for large "max-cache-size" settings.
However, these two factors combined can cause memory exhaustion issues
in GitLab CI, where we run multiple "instances" of the test suite in
parallel on the same runner, each test suite executes multiple system
tests concurrently, and each system test may potentially start multiple
named instances at the same time. In practice, this problem currently
only seems to be affecting the "geoip2" system test, which is failing
intermittently due to named instances used by that test getting killed
by oom-killer.
Prevent the "geoip2" system test from failing intermittently by setting
"max-cache-size" in named configuration files used in that test to a low
value in order to keep memory usage at bay even with a large number of
views configured.
The $SYSTEMTESTTOP shell variable if often set to .. in various shell
scripts inside bin/tests/system/, but most of the time it is only
used one line later, while sourcing conf.sh. This hardly improves
code readability.
$SYSTEMTESTTOP is also used for the purpose of referencing
scripts/files living in bin/tests/system/, but given that the
variable is always set to a short, relative path, we can drop it and
replace all of its occurrences with the relative path without adversely
affecting code readability.
this changes most visble uses of master/slave terminology in tests.sh
and most uses of 'type master' or 'type slave' in named.conf files.
files in the checkconf test were not updated in order to confirm that
the old syntax still works. rpzrecurse was also left mostly unchanged
to avoid interference with DNSRPS.
The rewrite of BIND 9 build system is a large work and cannot be reasonable
split into separate merge requests. Addition of the automake has a positive
effect on the readability and maintainability of the build system as it is more
declarative, it allows conditional and we are able to drop all of the custom
make code that BIND 9 developed over the years to overcome the deficiencies of
autoconf + custom Makefile.in files.
This squashed commit contains following changes:
- conversion (or rather fresh rewrite) of all Makefile.in files to Makefile.am
by using automake
- the libtool is now properly integrated with automake (the way we used it
was rather hackish as the only official way how to use libtool is via
automake
- the dynamic module loading was rewritten from a custom patchwork to libtool's
libltdl (which includes the patchwork to support module loading on different
systems internally)
- conversion of the unit test executor from kyua to automake parallel driver
- conversion of the system test executor from custom make/shell to automake
parallel driver
- The GSSAPI has been refactored, the custom SPNEGO on the basis that
all major KRB5/GSSAPI (mit-krb5, heimdal and Windows) implementations
support SPNEGO mechanism.
- The various defunct tests from bin/tests have been removed:
bin/tests/optional and bin/tests/pkcs11
- The text files generated from the MD files have been removed, the
MarkDown has been designed to be readable by both humans and computers
- The xsl header is now generated by a simple sed command instead of
perl helper
- The <irs/platform.h> header has been removed
- cleanups of configure.ac script to make it more simpler, addition of multiple
macros (there's still work to be done though)
- the tarball can now be prepared with `make dist`
- the system tests are partially able to run in oot build
Here's a list of unfinished work that needs to be completed in subsequent merge
requests:
- `make distcheck` doesn't yet work (because of system tests oot run is not yet
finished)
- documentation is not yet built, there's a different merge request with docbook
to sphinx-build rst conversion that needs to be rebased and adapted on top of
the automake
- msvc build is non functional yet and we need to decide whether we will just
cross-compile bind9 using mingw-w64 or fix the msvc build
- contributed dlz modules are not included neither in the autoconf nor automake
Portion of the digdelv test are skipped on IPv6 due to extra quotes
around $TESTSOCK6: "I:digdelv:IPv6 unavailable; skipping".
